Must try place!!!…read more Delicious food! The service was nice. They offered suggestions since it was our first time. We stopped by after seeing a play at the stockton theater where a friend told us about this place. We decided to try it and it did not disappoint. Everything is made fresh to order.

I was excited to try Nicky's Italian after seeing it online, but unfortunately my experience was…read morevery disappointing. We waited over 20 minutes for two cold sandwiches despite the restaurant being nearly empty. When the food finally arrived, the sandwiches were cold, bland, and lacked flavor. Considering the prices, I expected much better quality and freshness. What concerns me even more is the way the owner responds to negative reviews. Instead of taking customer feedback as an opportunity to improve, many of the responses come across as defensive, dismissive, and disrespectful. Reading those interactions makes it seem like customer concerns are not taken seriously. I don't mind paying premium prices when the food and service justify it, but neither did in this case. Based on my experience, I won't be returning.

They have dried pasta options as well as fresh options in the fridge and you can mix and match sauces and pastas to find your favorite combinations.

If you're really interested in fresh pasta you may even want to consider taking one of their pasta making classes. They have scheduled options throughout the year and offer the ability to schedule private classes. The owner and team working here are also so nice and can answer all of your questions and make sure you have a delicious meal. The parking is also super easy here, with plenty of spots.

Getting My Pasta-Addiction On!…read more SITREP Thanks to Yelp for directly putting this business on my radar - I will always appreciate that assist! THE SETUP It was LOVE at first sight when I spotted the pre-made Zita casserole in their refrigerator display. I was more than willing to take a chance on that puppy: simply put in the oven and heat up! Easy-peasy, and SO delicious: rich marinara sauce with a hearty flavor. But I was also excited to try another *flavor* of alfredo sauce that did NOT come out of grocery store jar, so I popped for not just one, but TWO (2) difference flavors of their Alfredo sauce! * A lemon Alfredo sauce; and, * A Parmesan Alfredo sauce I'm still experimenting on making my own fettuccine and linguini noodles, so it's tons o' fun mixing & matching different sauces with different pastas! THE LOWDOWN Thank you, Chubby Cupboard, for making many fun and delicious pastas and sauces! I love coming back for more!

We had a wonderful experience as a party of 3; Amelia kindly greeted us at the door with menus, and…read morethe way it works is that you get a moment to decide on dishes while the hostess gets your table ready, and you order before walking through the beautiful naturally-lit, high-ceiling restaurant to sit. Amelia recommended one pasta dish per person in the party, to share family style (which ended up working well for us, since we also got three appetizers, and finished the meal with a small amount of yummy leftovers for tomorrow) so that's what we did, along with the starters... We got the "big juicy meatballs with tomato and pancetta," which were incredible; the bread was delicious and certainly is not just a side to the amazing (definitely juicy) herbed tender meatballs. I'd definitely get this again, along with the grilled zucchini with worm salt and mint, which was so flavorful and tasty. We also got the smokey romano beans with fire roasted tomato, which was also really good but just keep in mind the emphasis on the smokey flavor! It wasn't my cup of tea but that's for sure a personal thing. For pastas, I'd rank them in this order: 1. our favorite was today's lasagna du jour, which was mushroom! So delicious, with a crispy cheesy crust, soft tender interior, and an almost caramelized tomato sauce accompanying. 2. Reginette with pork sugo (meat sauce) and spicy turnip greens was next, which had wonderful flavor with the tomato-based sauce and pieces of pork but if you like it slightly softer texture it might not be for you (same with the fusilli; the go-to preparation is aldente!). 3. Fusilli alla vodka with tomato, calabrian chili, cream, basil, and added garlic butter shrimps; this one's sauce felt a little underwhelming and more watery than creamy, and I'm just now realizing that although the menu said four garlic butter shrimp (an extra $7), we only got three. I think I'd come back for the lasagna and/or to buy the pasta from their expansive stock, cook it a bit longer, and serve it covered in a decadent creamy sauce.

Really excellent pasta. I typically shop at the San Rafael store. All the pastas I've had from here…read moreover the last few years are very very good (and fairly priced). Love the fresh bucatini and the Nettle pasta was just superb. Sauces are super rich and flavorful - a big difference from sauces we make at home.

Seating area consists of 3 tables, and they've got one of those mini arcade games for the kiddos as well. Overall pretty small dining area but Gustine isn't a big city so didn'texpect a ton of seating. Menu is displayed on a couple of monitors in the wall as you come in. The pasta is cooked in an open kitchen right behind the counter as you order. Pretty neat to be able to watch them make your order. Ordered the Volcanic Fettuccine because who doesn't like a spicy Italian dish right? Got it in a bread bowl with added chicken so cost was just shy of 20 bucks because of the upgrades. Didn't end up eating on site because it was really close to closing time for them and didn't want to be "that guy" so took my order home. The fettuccine was really good, cooked well, and the sauce was actually spicy. Not as spicy as I was hoping it would be, but it did have a nice kick. I'd definitely have it again. Overall, nice family run place with home made pasta. Would have ordered a pizza, but they ran out of pizza dough, since it is house made they don't have any extra in the fridge/freezer like you'd expect at a lot of places. If you are in the Gustine area looking for some really good home made pasta check them out. Definitely worth the drive.

Flavor was ok but it tasted like the noodles had been sitting for a while. Overall I would come back to try more things and if they ever have live crawfish, I would get that again
